1926réf. 144231926. Gröber Karl. Two Views of the Mosque at Mecca 1926. Pair of original copperplate photogravures depicting the Masjid al-Haram the Sacred or Grand Mosque in Mecca Islam's holiest city and the destination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. The mosque surrounds the Kaaba toward which Muslims worldwide turn in daily prayer. Published in 1926 the illustrations date from the early period of Saudi rule over Mecca following the city's conquest by Abdulaziz Ibn Saud in 1924. The two views record the mosque from ground-level and elevated perspectives preserving photographic documentation of the sacred precinct before the extensive architectural expansions of the later twentieth century. Gröber Karl photographer. Two Views of the Mosque at Mecca. 1926. Two original copperplate photogravures after photographs by Gröber published in the first edition of a 1926 book containing his text and photographic illustrations. Each sheet measures approximately 8.25" x 10.25" with a printed area of approximately 6.25" x 8.25". The first photogravure presents a ground-level view of the mosque recording its architecture from within the surrounding urban setting. The second provides a bird's-eye view of the mosque showing the sacred complex from an elevated perspective. Both illustrations reproduce the tonal gradations and architectural details of the original photographs through the copperplate photogravure process. The illustrations were published during a decisive period in the modern history of Mecca. Following the collapse of Ottoman authority in the Hejaz during the First World War the city came under Hashemite rule before its capture by Ibn Saud in 1924. In 1926 Ibn Saud assumed the title King of the Hejaz incorporating Mecca into the expanding Saudi state. The paired views record the mosque's architectural setting during this transition preceding the major expansion and redevelopment campaigns undertaken from the mid-twentieth century onward. Both original photogravures are in excellent condition presenting complementary perspectives of the Grand Mosque as reproduced in 1926. unknown

1790réf. 145711790. Engraved plate titled View Of The Temple of Mecca and accompanying Plan Of The Temple of Mecca circa eighteenth century represents an early modern European visual interpretation of the Kaaba and the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca Islam's most sacred site. Produced for inclusion in eighteenth-century printed works including editions of André du Ryer's French translation of the Qur'an L'Alcoran de Mahomet the engraving reflects European efforts to depict and systematize knowledge of Islamic sacred geography during a period of expanding global contact. The print supports research in Islamic studies the history of book illustration Orientalist visual culture and early modern European representations of non-Christian religious architecture. Engraved plate. Circa 1700s. Approximately 8 x 12 inches. Unmounted and unframed. The foldout plate comprises two distinct but related images: an aerial plan of the sacred precinct at Mecca and a perspectival view of the Kaaba within the Masjid al-Haram. The central structure of the Kaaba is depicted surrounded by arcaded and domed architectural elements characteristic of the sanctuary as understood in the eighteenth century. In the foreground courtyard numerous Muslim worshippers-approximately one hundred figures-are shown engaged in prayer emphasizing both ritual practice and spatial organization. The engraving was issued in connection with eighteenth-century European editions of Islamic texts including Du Ryer's influential translation and reflects the period's hybrid combination of documentary ambition and interpretive stylization. As a visual artifact circulating within early modern printed Qur'anic translations the plate documents how European readers encountered Islam through mediated imagery shaped by travel accounts diplomatic reports and secondhand description. Such engravings played a formative role in constructing Western visual conceptions of Mecca at a time when access to the holy city was restricted to Muslims. The presence of both plan and elevation view demonstrates Enlightenment-era interest in architectural order cartographic precision and comparative religion. Light age-related toning and traces of original fold at center; minor fold wear consistent with issuance as a book plate; image clear with well-preserved engraved detail. Overall very good condition. A significant eighteenth-century engraved representation of the Kaaba and Masjid al-Haram reflecting early European visual engagement with Islamic sacred space. unknown
